Where did Prolly is Not Probably go?

It is still here, and then some. PiNP was one person’s opinion and voice. Now we are a collective – a community of diverse opinions and rich stories.

What does the Radavist mean?

Rad + Atavist = RADAVIST

Why does a porpoise surf a wave, or a sea otter slide down a rock? Atavism is a primal trait in humans and animals that drives us to do what we do – what ought to come naturally. Atavism is why we ride the way we ride; From mashing the city on a track bike to shredding the trails on full suspension. Take the time to get rad.

For those looking for a better designed, more integrated dropper post switch, check out the Wolf Tooth ReMote. Designed to work with most cable-actuated droppers, the ReMote is engineered to make installation a cinch and on-the-trail adjustment even easier. See more specs and information at Wolf Tooth.

Yeah, a few people that I’ve seen. I know one of the Niner dudes did it at Grinduro in 2015.

Yeah i’ve seen this done a few times but I have CX1 without the guts in the left shifter on one cross bike, and retroshift without a shifter on the other cross bike.

Martin,
If -hypothetically- there were a drop bar clamp, would you prefer it to be at the stem (for bar top use), near the shift lever, or near the end of the bar (like a bar-con)? Just wondering…

I’d go with a lever-area mount, since Paul has that SRAM Shift adapter that could probably be pressed into service for a dropper lever. Otherwise, could it be done in-line so you have both?

Marc Lindarets

That’s an interesting idea- one that I hadn’t considered. It’s something well have to play with for sure!

Martin Rushworth

Hi Marc – I was thinking 31.8mm clamp so it could be operated from the top of the bars, i had hacked something together but it broke so my gravity dropper is in a box (and their lever isn’t great anyway). By the shift lever would be much better placement but can’t imagine how you would do it. Personally don’t like bar-end attachments because i bang my knees on them. Martin

Marc Lindarets

31.8 would be cleanest for sure- wedging an add’l lever in by the brake/shift lever that can be reached from the hoods and/or drops could be interesting.

It’s not something we’re committed to, just trying to weigh the options.
